So I made this AMAZING Raspberry Cheesecake Brownie a little while ago & I feel I have to share it with the world as it was SO good & surprisingly easy to make.

I got the recipe from the Hummingbird Bakery Cookbook, I feel that everyone needs to own this book. I want to make every single thing in there! yummm...

So to make this you will need:

Brownie:

200g dark chocolate

200g unsalted butter

250g icing sugar

3 eggs

110g plain flour

Cheesecake:

400g cream cheese

150g icing sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 eggs

Cream Topping:

300ml whipping cream

100g icing sugar

150g raspberries-plus extra to decorate

Preheat the oven to 170 degrees c, gas mark 3.

To make the brownie:

Melt the chocolate. Whisk up the butter & sugar. Add one egg at a time. Mix well as you go along. Gradually beat in the flour. Pour in the melted chocolate. Mix well & ensure mixture is smooth. Pour into a baking tray and smooth over.

To make the cheesecake:

Whisk up the cream cheese, sugar & vanilla extract until smooth & thick. Add one egg at a time. Mix until light & fluffy. Spoon over the brownie mixture & smooth over. Bake in the over for 30-40 minutes until cheesecake is firm to touch & lightly golden around the edges. Leave to cool. Then cover & refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight if possible.

Listening to a bit of Mumford & sons while I bake...

To make the cream topping:

Whisk the cream, sugar & raspberries until firm. Spread on top of the cheesecake & decorate with the extra raspberries.

Lastly, ENJOY!
